HOW COULD ARTISTIC RESEARCH CONTRIBUTE TO ACTING THEORIES?

Summary/Abstract: Drawing upon her insights as an active participant in artistic research processes, the author delves into artistic research practices and seeks to reveal the peculiarities of this research paradigm. By studying examples from artistic doctoral projects, the author explores how artistic research methodologies serve as the lens for unravelling the intricacies of acting, while also acknowledging their limitations. The study argues that neither artists nor art scholars working in isolation can develop a comprehensive theory of acting that fully captures the essence of the phenomenon. Instead, it is through the integration of artistic, scholarly, and scientific paradigms, facilitating the exchange between inside and outside positions, that the complexity of contemporary acting can be illuminated. This synthesis potentially offers new insights into performing arts and paves the way for advancements in both academic research and artistic practice.
